A 27.4 kg dog is running northward at 2.19 m/s , while a 7.19 kg cat is running eastward at 2.78 m/s . Their 75.7 kg owner has t

Answer:

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}, \alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

Explanation:

Let consider that owner has the resultant direction of the momentums from the dog and the cat. First, the momentum of the owner is:

\|\vec p \| = \sqrt{\left[(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}+\left[(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\right]^{2}}

\|\vec p \| = 63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}

The speed of the owner is:

\|\vec v \| = \frac{63.248\,kg\cdot \frac{m}{s}}{75.7\,kg}

\| \vec v\| = 0.836\,\frac{m}{s}

Lastly, the direction of the owner is:

\alpha = \tan^{-1}\left[\frac{(27.4\,kg)\cdot \left(2.19\,\frac{m}{s} \right)}{(7.19\,kg)\cdot \left(2.78\,\frac{m}{s} \right)} \right]

\alpha = 71.577^{\textdegree} (Northeast)

You are on the south bank of the river in your canoe you need to reach the north bank you know that you can row your canoe at 2
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(θ) = 60°

Explanation:

Given:

Speed of canoe Vc = 2 m/s

Speed of River Vr = 1 m/s

Computation:

Vc (Cosθ) = Vr

2 (Cosθ) = 1

(Cosθ) =  1 / 2

(Cosθ) = (Cos60)

(θ) = 60°

How did particles in the solar nebula eventually form earth
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

At the high temperatures of the inner solar nebula, the small proto-planets were too hot to hold the volatile gases that dominated the solar nebula. These proto-planets were Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury.

Explanation:

The materials that accreted into the early Earth were probably added piecemeal, without and particular order. The early earth was very hot from gravitational compression, impacts and radioactive decay; the earth was partially molted. The denser metallic liquids sank to the center of the Earth and less denser silicate liquids rose to the top. In this way the Earth differentiated very quickly into a metallic, mostly iron core and a rocky silicate mantle.

I remember c/d. That's not a problem. But if you want 'c', you'll have to give me 'd'.
